in the morning, when the sun had just revealed itself while radiating the warmth of its rays illuminated the earth.
In a house, a young man was sleeping with a book covering his face. There was an alarm on a table right next to it.
the young man was none other than Zhen Xions.
'kring... kring.....'
The sound of the alarm rang, Zhen woke up from his sleep and hit the alarm.
The moment his hand touched the alarm, a very dazzling light was emitted from the alarm. Instantly Zhen closed his eyes.
When Zhen opened his eyes again, he was surprised to see that his place was now an old hut.
"Why am I here? and also what light it was." Zhen said as he watched his surroundings.
in the corner of the room, Zhen saw an old man sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed. Zhen then walked over to the old man.
Sensing that someone was approaching him, the old man opened his eyes. He saw a young man walking towards him.
"Hahaha.., finally you come too young, I've been waiting for you for a long time" said the old man with a smile.
"Well, sorry cake, what did grandfather mean to me?" asked Zhen as he pointed to himself.
"Yes, who else if it wasn't you, did you see anyone other than the two of us here?." The old man asked back.
"Ahahaha...., by the way why is grandfather waiting for me?." asked Zhen while scratching his head.
"To finish my task." replied the old man casually.
"hmm, if I may know what a cake is?" asked Zhen.
"You'll find out later, alright since you're here I'll give you something. Will you accept what I'll give you?." said the old man a little seriously.
"I'd certainly accept it if it was a good thing, but before that could grandfather tell me where we are now?" Zhen said politely.
"Of course, we are now in an old hut hahaha.." said the old man and laughed out loud.
"i also know that, but I mean what country is this?" Zhen said with a forced smile. It was obvious that he was holding back his frustration.
"Hahaha.., I was just kidding, you don't have to be upset so hahaha.." said the old man with a laugh.
"hurry up and explain to me where this is?." Said Zhen annoyed.
"All right, all right, I'll explain. Hmm, we are now in a land called Zhronteds, right in the dark ages, where magic became a source of strength for survival. Where the various races live to show who is the strongest."
"Our territory is currently in the village of Astrend, a small village controlled by the Astron family" said the old man.
"Alright, I have answered your question, now you must accept my gift." continued the old man, taking out a book from the cloak he was wearing.
"Take this book and study it, open it after I leave. Oh yes, I almost forgot this is the sword that became the companion of the book." said the old grandfather then handed over the book and the sword in his hand.
"I hope you can take good care of him." continued the old man.
Zhen then took the book and the sword, and thanked the old man.
"Thank you cake, I will definitely take care of him even though life is at stake" Zhen said and took the book and sword.
"I believe you." said the old man with a smile.
"Well, it's time for me to come back, I hope you can get stronger." continued the old man.
"Hahaha.., I made this hut just for a while" replied the old man casually.
"Ohhh, then where is grandfather going?" asked Zhen again.
"You'll find out later." said the old man with a smile.
"Huh.., well before grandfather leaves, can grandfather tell you who grandfather really is?" asked Zhen expectantly.
"Hahaha.no, it's not yet time for you to find out" the old man said as he looked at Zhen.
"Alright, I can't linger, there's still another task I have to do. Get ready, close your eyes." continued the old man.
Zhen then closed his eyes, the old man placed his index finger on Zhen's forehead. Instantly, a light appeared enveloping the bodies of the two.
"Zhen Xions, wherever you step up to justice, protect those close to you, at every step you take, many obstacles you will face, keep going and don't give up, you are our hope." said the old man then disappeared along with the light.
Zhen then opened his eyes, he realized the old man had left. Zhen then thought about the old grandfather's words.
"Where did he know my name?, I guess I haven't told him. What does that mean to me is hope.they?." thought Zhen seriously.
After a long moment of thought, Zhen sighed as he could not find an answer.
"Huh..had it, I'll think about it later." said Zhen weakly.
Zhen then walked to the corner of the room and took a sitting position. He noticed the sword that the old man had given him.
"It seems like I have to practice swords, I wish I could play this thing" Zhen said as he stroked the sword.
The sword was blue with a golden pattern in harmony with the book that the old man gave.
Zhen then kept the sword in his hand and took the book that the old man had given him.
"Would I just start learning it or wait for tomorrow" Zhen said, looking at the book.
After thinking for a moment, Zhen decided to read the book and then practice the next day.
"Well, I'll learn it and practice tomorrow. After all, it seems like soon night will come." Zhen said as he looked out.
Then Zhen started reading the book. The longer he read the book, the more interested he became in the content of the book.
Moments later, Zhen finished reading the book. Seen, a wide smile adorned his face.
"This book is very interesting, not only in the form of a sword style, but also contains natural energy control procedures. With this I am very confident of being able to master magic and then explore this country" Zhen said excitedly.
"I'm so grateful to that grandpa, I'll look for him one day. I won't let her down." continued Zhen with determination.
Zhen then closed the book and set his eyes out, he was surprised to see that it was night.
"Hmm, it seems like I'm too engrossed in reading this book so I don't realize it's night" Zhen said, shaking his head.
"I should rest in preparation for tomorrow." continued Zhen and walked to the bed in one corner of the room.
In the bed there is a ring located on a pillow. Zhen then took the ring and put it on his hand.
'it looks like grandfather deliberately left this ring for me, thank you cake." Zhen said in his heart.
Feeling tired, Zhen immediately laid his body on the bed and closed his eyes. Slowly she fell asleep.
